Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the convergence rates of the trinomial tree methods (TTMs) and perturbed finite difference methods (PFDMs) for system parabolic variational inequalities which govern the value function of regime-switching American option. This paper has threefold contributions: (i) It establishes the higher-order equivalence between the TTMs and the PFDMs for the regime-switching American options; (ii) It proves the regularities of the solutions to the system of parabolic variational inequalities governing the price of the American options, and studies the comparison principles and the penalty methods. These results are used to prove the convergence rates of the PFDMs; (iii) It proves the convergence rates of the PFDMs for the system of parabolic variational inequalities governing the price of the American options. The convergence rates of the TTMs are obtained by the higher-order equivalence between the TTMs and the PFDMs and the convergence theory for the PFDMs.
